Image Models and Social Networks

After introducing the Gibbs-Markov random field and illustrating the difficulties of using a Gibbs distribution with examples from image analysis, I will introduce the Gibbs random field on a complete graph as a model for a social network. The model will be demonstrated on data from a mental health service system. A goodness-of-fit test will then be developed and implemented, with very pleasing results.
